RS-35 Horns sound different

[wreintg]

I recently purchased some used RS-35 speakers and after I hooked them up I noticed the left horn in each speaker put out much less sound than the right horn. Listening very closely it seems that the right horn is only putting out very high frequencies while the right horn is covering much more midrange and high frequencies. Another member of this forum thought this was normal, that the two horns in the speaker were crossed over at different frequencies. Klipsch tech support told me that both horns should sound identical. Does anyone in the forum have experience with the RS-35 that could tell me for sure if there is something wrong with these speakers or if the two horns are just crossed over differently? Thanks for your help!

The crossover points for the two horns is identical. They should sound the same. I can think of no circumstance where one would seem to cover more or less band than the other.

A lot of the sound of a speaker is determined by its close surroundings. Is it possible this is what you're hearing?

what happens when you switch the speakers from right to left?(changing the wires)? put both speakers in the middle and is there a difference between them? switch your RS's with your RF's.

Mike,

I put my ear up to the horn since I did not hear much coming from the left side and it definately sounded like it was covering only the top high frequencies while the right horn covered at least twice as much range. Thanks for your response.
